Handling, acceleration, energy efficiency, pedestrian safety, and repair costs are all positively affected by lower curb weight. There's also a strong correlation between better visibility and lower size.
And no, I definitely mean kg.

I do not require a combustion chamber in my sports car. I do however, prefer a curb weight under 1500 kg, which happens to exclude the vast majority of cars for sale in North America, even sporty ones, and EV sports cars under 1500 kg are very difficult to find indeed.
I can't believe that image in the thumbnail came from official Meta marketing. I have to imagine that Jared the Subway guy didn't make the cut because he didn't look creepy enough.
Time to rewatch The Wire again...

Thanks! I'm content with ICE cars for the near term. Mazda MX-5, Nissan Z, Porsche Boxster, Mini Cooper, Civic Type R, Toyota FRS/Subaru BRZ, etc. all fit the bill.
On the electric side, the e Golf proved that it's possible, and the electric Mini Cooper also fits firmly under 1500 kg. So there is more hope for the future!
